I have thre seperate photos as pictured. All came from a local estate of a nascar promoter who passed away. I need opinions on authenticity and where should I send for authentication?

I would be interested in one of them if you do find them to be authentic.

Brandon just posted on the 29th of Aug a Tim Richmond signature that he authenticated. I'd use that one as a comparison.

I'm anxious to see what Brandon thinks.

I saw this piece and compared it to my photos. I beleive mine are authentic after comparison and knowing the source they came from. There are concerns of the penmanship but anyone who knows the story of Richmond knows he was a party man which could explain the shaky penmanship. You never know what state he was in when signing them. Even after a long grueling race most people would be shaky. If he signed them after a night at the bar then they would be shaky. If he signed them when his illness (Aids) starting kicking in he would definitely have been more shaky. I submitted photos to Brandons Email. Now I am just impatiently waiting. To clear it up I have two real Kodak photos and one print. All being hand signed with black marker. The two photos are dated on the back. I listed them on eBay but they want authenication so they removed them.
